Cancer child, 3, careful after his natural

A child affected by CANCER has been removed from the attention of his parents after they rejected medical rescue treatment for herbal remedies, authorities said the night before.

Child care officials took Joshua "Noah" McAdams, three, to state custody Monday nine days after doctors in Florida alerted police that "necessary" chemotherapy was missed last month.

Noah's parents allegedly refused to allow him to receive chemotherapy, and instead insisted that he was responding to vitamins and herbs.

Joshua McAdams, 27, and Taylor Bland-Ball, 22, and the love of Little Noah, were also arrested after being traced to an address in Georgetown, Kentucky.

Apparently, the family had fled their home in Tampa Bay 850 miles away after the child protection services obtained a court order to arrest the child.

The officials took Noah, who suffers from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, to the hospital for a check-up before being put in the clinic.

His parents have documented the battle against cancer in young children in social networks, where they have criticized medical science and promoted alternative therapy.

Mama Taylor wrote regularly criticizing the use of chemotherapy in children.

And he insisted that his son is recovering due to vitamins and a change in diet.

She wrote on April 16, 12 days after revealing her son's cancer diagnosis: "We left that hospital, with no cancer cells to spare."

"For those who asked for it, we did two rounds of chemotherapy, specifically vincristine because they can get an order from the medical court to force him to do it anyway for a child with his diagnosis."

A campaign has even been established for parents, which has so far raised more than $ 8,000 (£ 6,130).

And supporters have bombed the Facebook page of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, where news about the arrest of the parents was posted.

Among the thousands of comments, Chellie Anne wrote: "SET THEM FREE, they are not criminals.

"They are beautiful loving parents who have done nothing more than take care of their child and respect the doctor's wishes all the time."

But others were skeptical of the parents' claims that Noah could be cancer-free after only 12 days.

Amanda Roberts wrote: "Not seeing cancer in the images does not mean that someone is cancer free.

"Also, none of the people here are oncologists either."
